Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very thorough and explained the whole procedure completely. Asked questions about concerns. Just an overall good experience with the doctor.

I felt so great once I was in the hospital. I never had surgery before and the whole team made me feel relaxed and at ease. Great work to your team could not have asked for better treatment with this nerve wracking experience.

I broke all 3 bones in my ankle some years ago. It got infected and healed badly, so I've had to wear an AFO brace since, special shoes and considerable pain. I went to Dr. Kraus for a consultation and he recommended a total ankle replacement. He was wonderful to talk to, and able to clearly explain what to expect and what the limitations of the surgery are and what to expect as an outcome. He is, in my opinion, one of, if not THE best surgeons in the state, if not the Midwest. I recommend him without reservations of any kind- he is truly the best. My only regret is that I can only give him 5 stars- he deserves 10 or more. His staff are also the best; caring and extremely friendly, and know their jobs inside and out. Thank you Dr Kraus for giving me my quality of life back, you're amazing, and you're truly the best. A very satisfied patient and very grateful.

He explained the details of what he was going to do for my foot surgery. He did that very well. I think that The Get Well Loop is very helpful. His nurse Nathan was been very good at sneers questions before and after surgery. I feel that I have received good cares.

No Complaints!
I've had an ankle fusion. All the appointments I had with Dr. Kraus, and his team, leading up to the surgery, and the 24 hour stay after surgery, have been positive. My questions or concerns during my recovery at home are immediately answered on My Chart. So far, I could not be more satisfied.

For my appointment I accidently went to the wrong facility for the appointment. The doctor and staff worked me in to still see me. I have 2 separate problems that need surgery in a timely manner so it was very important I be seen. They never made me feel bad either, in fact the doctor was apologetic for me having to wait a bit when they worked me in. I was so appreciative and so impressed with the empathetic way I was treated.

Experience
I appreciated Dr. Kraus’ experience. I could tell by the way he explained the surgery that he had done a lot of these surgeries. He was also clear about the post op restrictions, timelines, and expectations. And the whole flow of the system from pre-op to post-op was very smooth.

Excellent surgical care
Dr Kraus and team are very attentive to questions and concerns. Dr Kraus provided a very good explanation of what exactly would be done during surgery, and what to expect after surgery and during my months long recovery. Nothing was unexpected or a surprise. Questions to the team are answered quickly. The follow up loop helped me to know that someone on the team was following up and reviewing my answers. They proactively review for any post op complications.
